中兴将其2015年的净利润下调至32亿人民币（约合4亿9330万美元,3亿5千万英镑）。今年一月份，中兴发布的2015年净利润为38亿元人民币。

ZTE said the trimmed profit figure was due to a "reassessment" of future cash inflows, arising from related contracts following US export restrictions.

中兴表示公司遭到出口限制后重新评估了未来资金流的注入以及相关合同价值，因此下调了公司的净利润。

The company has announced to shareholders that it is currently co-operating with the US Commerce Department, the US Department of Justice, the US Department of Treasury and other relevant US government departments, in their respective investigations of ZTE’s compliance with the US Export Administration Regulations.

中兴通知股东目前公司正在和美国商务部，美国司法部和美国财政部及相关的美国政府部门进行合作，协助上述部门调查中兴是否违反了美国出口管理规定。

ZTE is the second-biggest supplier of telecommunications equipment in China, after Huawei.
